A thoughtful examination of thoughtless violence, grief, and loss. I appreciate the lack of violence staged, and how carful and yet unflinching Bohannon approaches the subject matter. Had me crying at my desk.

A lovely and poetic rumination of grief. Using a "visitor from other world" framing, this piece examines so many rich and emotional subjects with grace. What easily could have been didactic, is very human. The piece has me thinking about the role of death in my life and the various forms of grieving I am always in the middle of. A lovely play.

A theatrical, poetic, beautiful piece that examines brutal, senseless violence and its root in fear, hatred, and toxic masculinity. "In the End" does all of this, however, with a great deal of subtlety and nuance that never once exploits images of violence to evoke pain, but rather focuses on the humanity of those killed and of those left after in its wake. The mystical, spiritual thread running through grounds the play in hope and wonder. The structural punctuation of Bridget's interactions with the audience are powerful and make the climactic scene between her and Emmy poignant and cathartic. Glorious!
